AmayaHe stood in all of his glory in front of me, frowning down at me while I tried to regain my composure. I had a feeling that he wouldn't quite appreciate that I thought he was here to hurt me. On the other note, why is he here and how did he know where I was located?"H-hey," I said when I faced him."Why are you so nervous?" he asked me. I somehow didn't want to admit the truth out of embarrassment of my paranoia."W-what, me nervous? That's ridiculous." Okay, I could've made my lie a little more believable than that because he sure didn't buy that at all."You thought I was another shapeshifter huh," he stated making me cautiously nod.

Amaya I had finished getting dressed and was now patiently waiting for Ryan to come. I told my mom that I was going out with Destiny so she could let me leave. I also called Destiny to tell her to cover for me if ever my mom decided to call her. Damon hasn't come back to bother me and I was glad. He was so annoying sometimes I just couldn't deal with him. As I was scrolling through my feed, I noticed a spark of light flash through my window. I went to check what it was and I saw a car parking on our driveway meaning Ryan had finally arrived. I quickly grabbed my purse and ran downstairs to open the door for him. When he rang the doorbell, I waited at least ten seconds to make sure he didn't get the impression that I was waiting for him at the door. "Hi." I greeted him with a smile. "Hey." I saw his eyes quickly roam through my body making me a little more nervous. "You look beautiful," he complimented. If I were white, I would

Damon I settled myself comfortably on the branches of the tree with a clear view of Maya's room. She was still in the same position that I left her in. With her perfect black curls spread out and her legs dangling out of the bed. Don't get me wrong, Amaya was a very attractive human being but I shouldn't have gotten that intimate with her. Those soft lips were so addicting though. One taste and I couldn't get enough. I almost wasn't able to stop myself but I knew I had to for her own sake. Vampires can see other people's emotions but they cannot feel them. We are naturally emotionless creatures that don't feel things. That's why vampires are one of the most dangerous creatures you could meet because they're completely merciless. The only emotion they're able to feel is lust. I have a few that I can feel specifically because I'm cursed to be the protector but others couldn't. For example the hurt I was able to feel when Maya assumed I was the

Amaya "Damon I don't think this is a good idea," I said with uncertainty laced within my voice while sitting on the foot of my bed. Damon was packing my bags for me getting ready for our unexpected trip to Miami where this person was supposed to help bring my powers. When Damon had announced this at the restaurant I thought this was some sick joke. I had to leave Destiny in the middle of our dinner together. I mean who plans a spontaneous trip to another country like that? "Listen, Maya, we're in even more danger every second we lose. We can't wait anymore. The supernatural know about you and they're already out for the sacred book. You need to get your powers to protect it or else you're going to die," he answered obviously getting frustrated that I wasn't getting his point. I understood but why couldn't we just continue our training sessions? "Our flight is scheduled for 7 pm tonight we don't have much time." My parents weren't at home. If I leave now I wouldn't have the chance to
